Oatmeal has lots of healthy fiber, which is beneficial for people suffering from acid reflux. Bread made with unprocessed grains is also rich in fiber. Instead of white rice, brown rice is the better choice because it contains fibrous complex carbohydrates, according to WebMd.

With regard to meat and poultry, the right portion and cooking method must be considered. People with acid reflux should choose lean or low-fat portions of meat and poultry. Steaming, grilling, broiling or roasting are the preferred cooking methods because they don't require the addition of too much oil, which greatly contributes to acid reflux. Grilled, baked or poached fish, without the fatty sauces, are safe to eat, states WebMD. Brocolli, asparagus, celery, cauliflower, green beans are among the vegetables that are low in acid. Potatoes and other root vegetables are also non-acidic. Egg whites are low in acid, but the yolk is prone to cause acid reflux.
